How to hang wall hanging and photo frames without boring holes in wallls?

Question

I am shifting into a new apartment and I have Photo frames that I want to hang up on the walls. I dont want to make holes in the wallls as the landlord has asked me not to do that. Please suggest where I can get strong wall adhesive tapes in Delhi

Answer 1

Funny you mentioned that. I just moved not too long ago. She made the previous tenants fix all the holes and paint. Well this isn't legal in the state of California. I did a little research. The landlord CANNOT charge you for small holes in the wall from hanging paintings. They can't charge you for small scuff marks in the paint. Cannot charge for normal wear and tear on the carpet. Funny though. I've been here a few months and I still haven't hung a painting. They're just leaning against the wall where I was going to hang them. I don't think you can hang a picture without making a hole in the wall. They have hangers with glue on the back but those aren't reliable and worse for the paint. But I do know a little trick. Put some masking tape on the wall where you're going to pound the nail. That will help with the plaster cracking. Also they can't tell you not to do it. It's your right. Tenants have rights. Look up landlord tenant law. Good luck!

First, One must be sure exactly where the hole is required.

Holes made by hammering nails into the walls are what are ghastly and unsightly, causing the landlord to give such injunctions! I have been a landlord as well as a tenant!

What will be a real neat and ideal job is to get a professional guy using an electric-drilling machine to drill clean 1" deep holes, fix a 'rawl-plug' (They come in wooden as well as plastic plugs) into the hole, and THEN hang the photo frames with steel screws !
The pictumes will never fall, and yet, when you leave the home, the holes will be clean and neat, without splattered wall plaster around the hole.

The landlord can NOT object!

Good grief! Bad enough you have to rent space, and then they ask you not to add any holes to the walls to decorate your home? I don't think legally they can do that, to be honest. It's called "normal wear and tear!" That said, I am going to have to say that those adhesive tapes are going to still leave marks...usually more ugly than a few holes are ever going to leave if left in place for any amount of time. So I would suggest you instead purchase a pack of sewing machine needles. They make a tiny, tiny hole that can barily be seen to the naked eye once removed. Not at all like a nail will do. And they are super strong! Just push them into the wall until you hit the thicker portion of the needle. When it's time to move out....if your walls are white....you can dab a tiny dot of white toothpaste OVER THE TINY HOLE ONLY! Don't smear it around, or it will be noticeable. If you just dab the tiny hole, that evil landlord of yours will never know a thing. Good luck!!

Hey there!

Try looking for double sided tapes in stationary shops - they are capable of holding up lightweight fames. Just be careful about using enough to hold the four corners in place.
The tapes are available easily and usually have no problems in sticking to white washed or painted walls. And you usually can remove them without leaving any marks on the walls.
Would also suggest that you look for vaccuum hooks in plastic, which uses suction pressure to hold on to the wall - however i have not found them very useful except on metal or other polished surfaces.
Good luck!!
